Standing at 194cm (6’36”), The appropriately named Knickers stands to watch over regularly sized steer at a farm in Myalup, Western Australia. In an interview with Perth Now, farmer Geoff Pearson stated that it was Knickers’ incredible size that saved his life.

It was too heavy. I wouldn’t be able to put it through a processing facility ..So I think it will just live happily ever after.
